Honda Grom spotted in Boise, Idaho

Obviously not vintage, but a throw back to the time when motorcycles just plain fun!

1987 NOS Bell Aero Star

This came to me as part of a deal on a dirt bike a few years back.  It's a little too big for me, and beyond safe anymore, but it's a nice time capsule.

Vintage Goggles

This pair of goggles was in the rack bag of the 1978 Kawasaki LTD 1000 I purchased from my late friend Steve.  I love them and have them hanging in my shop.  I'm reminded of Steve each time I see them.

Evaporative Canister removed from 2015 Ducati Scrambler

After doing some research I decided to remove the evaporative canister from my Ducati Scrambler.  As you can see from the following photos the canister is not pretty.

To remove the canister you need to remove the two lines that attach to the top of the canister.  I used an ice pick to release the hose clamps.  Then I removed the two screws that mount the bracket to the engine case.  You will need to plug the smaller of the two hoses to avoid a vacuum leak.  I used a 5mm screw from the auto parts store.  Removing the oil cooler shield makes access easier to the hoses.  As a last step I used existing hose ties to reroute the lines.  There are several sites on line that have step by step instructions.  The whole process took less than half an hour.   This photo and photo below show the engine after canister removal.
